I was at Dominicks, picking up some Hummus (which happens to be right next to the tofu and some other meat substitutes) and I see one of those NEW! signs next to this meat substitute. They had a few different kinds, but the one I chose was "meat-free tuscan breasts" made by gardein garden protein.

OH MY GOD. It's so fracking good! You'll never believe it. THEY GOT THE TEXTURE RIGHT. IT REALLY FEELS LIKE CHICKEN BREAST! and they're delicious. It came in a pack with two and i'm eating one right now.

I just read the ingredient list... THEY'RE VEGAN TOO!!! *squee*


Sorry, but i'm just really excited, because the one thing i've always hated about fake meats was the texture!

Oh, one thing though, if you're going to eat it on rice (like I am right now) it needs more tomato basil sauce that what it comes with.

i can't eat fake meats anymore. :/
i used to eat boca patties a lot, and stuff like that, but a while back, after not eating any for a while, i had some fake taco crumbles and i threw up.. i guess i'm afraid of accidently eating the real thing. it just creeps me out now. >.<

that was a huge problem i had with fake meats too. only problem is, i'll buy a fake somethingorother, after craving it for a long time, only to find its not as good as i remember so i wont eat any more of it. so, my parents dont buy substitutes anymore.

Reminds me of the "chicken" chunks I bought at Whole foods. Tasted like unseasoned chicken to me: bland and off-flavor.
But I was excited since it was easy to eat and season accordingly for dishes.
I've come to realize that it's not the meat I crave but the seasonings that go on it.

I love the Boca meat substitutes. I had their chicken nuggets, and I went and looked at the box to make sure they weren't meat, they were so good! They got the texture perfect. They also have good burgers. Gotta love my meat subs! whee
